  • Title: Myiasis with Dermatobia hominis in a Sicilian traveller returning from Peru.
    Author: Bongiorno MR, Pistone G, Aricò M.
    Journal: Travel Med Infect Dis; 2007 May; 5(3):196-8. PubMed ID: 17448949.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a bot fly infestation of the scalp. A 45-year-old man after returning to Sicily noted a small white "worm" erupting from the upper lesion. Physical examination revealed a superficial furuncular lesion with central pores with sero-sanguineous discharge. The foreign body identified was diagnosed as the larva of the human bot fly, Dermatobia hominis.
